My other choice would be Turn of the Screw to start with because it's short, it's legitimately scary, and it's got ambiguity that opens up analysis and theories out the *******.
I'm guessing you've read Silence and...Hamlet?

The only book from your list I've read is Catch-22. And I didn't finish it.
Yeah, I'm that uneducated.
I just noticed, that my list is missing Kafka's Trial. I omitted it, since the friend I compiled it for already read it in school, same as me. It's definitely in the top ten for me though.
